Peretola is also used by private jets and general aviation aircraft. Vehicle access for these arrivals follows different rules than for scheduled flights: we will coordinate the delivery location and time with you and the crew.
Amerigo Vespucci Airport, known simply as Peretola in the city after the area, is located on the northwest outskirts of Florence , near the highway junctions. The advantage is practical: from the airport, you can take the highway toward Lucca and the sea, or the ones toward Bologna and Rome, without passing through the city center.
Where you're staying determines whether you should pick up your car upon arrival. If you're staying in the historic center, where traffic is limited, your car will likely be left in the garage for the first few days: it's best to take a taxi to your hotel and have your car delivered on the morning of your first trip.
If you're staying in a villa in the hills, on a Chianti estate, or in a relais near Siena, picking it up at Peretola allows you to go directly to your destination with your luggage, without a second transfer.
From the airport, allow just over an hour to reach Siena and about two hours to reach the Val d'Orcia. To the west, Vinci, Leonardo's birthplace, and Montecatini Terme, with its thermal spas, are about 40 minutes away; Lucca is about an hour away. To the north, the Mugello hills, home to the famous racetrack, are about 45 minutes away, and Bologna is just over an hour away.
These times apply to normal traffic. The highway around Florence is often congested during rush hour and on summer weekends: for longer trips, it's best to leave early.
On the roads through the hills, a convertible, whether it's the Porsche 718 Boxster or the Ferrari F8 Spider, makes even the drive to the villa a pleasure, if you're traveling light. Those who alternate days in the city, trips and dinners out can choose a sporty family car like the Audi RS6: discreet, spacious and comfortable even on the highway. On the Apennine roads towards Mugello, a Porsche 911 (992) S Coupé is pleasant to drive and suitable even for longer trips.
If the estate is reached via a dirt road, choose an SUV like the Audi Q8 or Range Rover Sport. For a large group, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class offers space for a group or a family with lots of luggage.
For your return flight, you can leave your car at Peretola Airport, allowing some time before boarding. If you're departing from another airport, you can return it at Pisa Airport , about an hour away and with many European flights, or at Rome Airport , about three hours away by highway, perhaps after a few days in Siena.
Those flying intercontinental from Milan can cross the Apennines, stop in Modena and Maranello , and leave their car at Malpensa Airport or in the city. Florence and Milan are about three hours apart.
How far is Peretola from the center of Florence? About a 20-minute drive in normal conditions.
To head to Chianti, do I have to drive through the city? No, the airport is close to the highway exits, so you can avoid the historic center.
Is it worth picking up the car at the airport if I'm staying downtown? Usually, no: the car would be sitting idle for the first few days in the city. You can have it delivered to your hotel whenever you need it.
Can I return the car to Pisa or Rome? Yes. You can leave it at Pisa airport, Fiumicino, Ciampino, or at an address in the city.
I'm arriving by private plane: where will you deliver the car? At the point we agree with you and the crew, according to the airport's access rules.
Which car for an estate reached by a gravel road? An SUV, such as the Land Rover Defender 110 or the Audi Q8.
Is there a risk of receiving a different car than the one you booked? No, the model is always guaranteed. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before delivery.
